a day of searching, still no sign of frederick sales or what happened to him. the landfill behind the hill on the -- right on the other side of the hill behind me, we have seen some of the searchers leave as they wrap up for the day. but they will be back tomorrow. reporter: two dozen hercules investigators and volunteers have focused their search on just under an acre of trash. >> this is a very solemn event to be searching here. it's a mixed bag because we do want to find frederick sales alive, but we also have to follow leads as they come. >> reporter: and police say they have come here today to the keller canyon landfill because this is where trash from hercules is dumped. specifically, garbage from the north shore business park. that's where this cadillac escalade was discovered wednesday. an suv owned by a woman recently found dead in vallejo, the same car murder suspect efren valdemoro had been seen driving.

police say valdemoro once worked as a security guard at one of the businesses in this industrial park. plus, the area isn't that far from where frederick sales and his murdered father lived. >> we did conduct a thorough search of the actual ground area on wednesday. however, the trash had already been removed at that time. so investigators are now searching through that. >> reporter: and that search is methodical. first, an excavator breaks through the compacted everyday trash and lifts it into the air. investigators watch closely as it is sifted and falls to the ground. the pile itself is said to be 40 feet deep. and while people use their eyes and hands, a dog is using its nose. now, we're told the searchers are almost halfway through this 3,000 tons of trash, dana. police say frederick sales' car has been found. no one is say where or when and inside it no signs of a struggle. >> in the meantime a grim but

necessary duty for those officers. hugh now contra costa county, thank you. efren valdemoro is the man suspected in the disappearance of frederick sales as well as the murder of sales' father. police had been called to break up a fight between those three men back on august 22. it was at the hercules home owned by cindy tran and rented to the saleses. a beaten up valdemoro vowed to press charges. but before legal action was taken, ricardo's body was found and frederick went missing. valdemoro was shot and killed by the chp tuesday night in richmond after a high-speed chase. and police say valdemoro had kidnapped and strangled his ex-girlfriend, cindy tran. tonight in vallejo, family and friends are gathering in front of the salon where tran worked. her clients say that she always talked about her sons. they can't believe that someone would kill her. of all the players involved, there is only one person we know for sure is

still alive today. that man was married to one of the victims. simon perez has our first good look at adolph hitler tonight. simon. >> reporter: he is still alive. he lived at this house behind me in vallejo but today he appeared in court. his attorney said he had nothing to do the murders of his wife or the other woman whose bodies were found at this house. she intimates the police should be talking to somebody else they haven't considered yet. >> possession of the ingredients to make a destructive device and possession of an explosive. >> reporter: 72-year-old charles rittenhouse stood silent before a judge today and let his lawyer do the talking. she said the long-time chemist had no nefarious motives for the depleted uranium found in his house. nonetheless, he remains in jail on charges of possessing destructive and explosive devices. >> i don't think he did anything wrong. i think he is a victim in this case. >> reporter: the attorney excluded her client from having anything to do with the deaths

of the two women found at his house. rittenhouse's wife rita allen and her friend, carol smart. >> he had been there the night before and then on tuesday he went to work and i can tell you there were no bodies in the house on monday night. i have reason to believe the bodies were put there sometime that day tuesday the day of his arrest. >> reporter: remember, rita allen, rittenhouse's wife, was last seen august 25th. and he didn't report her missing until the following sunday. why did he wait five days to report his wife missing. >> he and his wife had very different work schedules and it wasn't uncommon for them to go several days without seeing each other. plus, because of the fact that mr. valdemoro what always steal his wife's car, his wife would leave the car at a friend's house. >> reporter: the attorney suspects efren valdemoro the man who lived with rittenhouse and allen off and on for years may have been responsible for the murders. or it may have been another couple. >> it was a couple that had been living in their house for a while and apparently they were involved in criminal activities and at some point mr. rittenhouse demanded that they leave the house and at that time, one of the couple made a

threat. >> reporter: veil police investigators aren't buying the story. for one, they say why was it that rittenhouse never called them about dead bodies in his house? did he calm the police and say there are dead bodies in my house. >> no, he did not. >> reporter: as far as the other couple, there's been plenty of time to bring that up, too. >> i have never heard of anything regarding another couple of some sort. i have no idea who that couple may be. this is the first i have heard of that. >> reporter: so even though something strange did happen here at rittenhouse's home in vallejo, it's also true the district attorney doesn't have enough evidence to prosecute him for the murders. the only charges he face right now are for the explosives. but allen, it's also true that those murder charges could come later. >> and simon, as you pointed out earlier, rittenhouse is the only one alive who could provide some answers to all of

it. >> reporter: they are hoping he can provide some information because as crass as it sounds, pretty much everybody else is dead. >> simon perez in vallejo, thank you. and this evening investigators are still trying to determine the cause of a deadly plane crash on the peninsula. the aircraft went down in a lagoon yesterday in redwood city. three people were killed in the twin-engine crash. julie watts shows us today the plane was lifted out of the water and two of those people were still in it. >> reporter: actually the plane is being lifted out of the water as we speak. a large crane has been brought in and you can see the wing is now out of the water. they have covered the cockpit. the bodies two of men are still inside. earlier today we spoke with a friend of theirs who give us some insight into their lives and final moments. >> watching two good men die, knowing that's a long period of time, kind of made me sick to my stomach. they're gone. so fast. >> reporter: herb foreman is still trying to grasp the reality of what he saw yesterday

while sitting in this restaurant at the san carlos airport. >> was making the clackettering. as it climbed, it was moving back and forth. knew it was in trouble. when it got to the oracle building it made the right turn to go out towards the bay. and he made a pretty steep bank and stalled it and it went straight in. we figured about four seconds to hit the water. i'm sure they all died instantly. >> reporter: while the identities of the victims isn't officially been released, herb tells us he lost two long-time friend when this twin engen beech 65 queen air went down in a redwood shores lagoon yesterday afternoon. he said the plane belonged to veteran pilot robert borrmann who flew 52 combat missions in world war ii and his own numerous planes since. according to herb, borrmann in friendhis 90s, didn't have medical clearance to fly alone. so certified flight instructor

was flying with him in the cockpit. >> he was born in san francisco, raised in the ghetto. went into the army, the korean war, was wounded twice as a paratroop. he got a battlefield commission. went from pse to lieutenant overnight and was an excellent man. >> reporter: on their way to grab lunch in san martin, herb says they invited along heinke's new girlfriend. her name isn't released but officials confirmed they recovered a woman's body from the lagoon yesterday afternoon. today, borrmann's plane was lifted from the bottom of the lagoon while about a mile away, heinke's still sits untouched at san carlos airport where friends are trying to grasp the reality of losing two long-time pilots and friends. >> they were great flyers. they were good flyers. they were good people. part of the great generation of the 20th century.

>> reporter: so the plane is slowly being lifted out of the water right now. we are told both the coroner and faa are on scene. but the ntsb investigator has yet to arrive. he is expected at some point this evening. we are told the bodies will be taken out of plane at some point tonight. the investigation will take place here through tomorrow morning and then eventually, this plane will be loaded on a truck and taken to a facility somewhere outside of sacramento. allen? >> all right. julie watts in redwood city, thank you. a major traffic jam on a northern california highway this morning, but not for the usual reasons. a helicopter crashed on highway 101 in salinas. and when you look at this wreckage, it's hard to believe that the pilot survived, let alone walked away with just minor injuries. matt bigler arrived on the scene before the highway re- opened. reporter: this helicopter is just getting cleaned up at this point. there was some fuel that spilled outside of the side of the helicopter as they were lifting it and that's what crews are cleaning up right now.

this all started just after 6:00 this morning when the pilot was taking off from the nearby salinas municipal airport. apparently, he had some trouble in the air and that may have been as a result of fog. we are not sure. he crash-landed in the slow lane on southbound 101. >> as he was crashing a big rig narrowly avoided hitting the helicopter. we are fortunate it didn't occur. pilot is okay. he suffered minor injuries. he complained of pain to his chest and abdomen. >> reporter: this aircraft crash is under investigation by both the faa and the ntsb. we'll wait to find out exactly what happened in the air before it landed here on the freeway. i'm matt bigler on 101 in salinas for cbs 5. it's been a week of problems in the air over the bay area. on monday a qantas flight returned safely to sfo after blowing an engine. incident left a hole in one of

the 747s engines. that cause is still under investigation. and then trouble on the water. how this family ran into problems and why their rescue had to wait a while. the outpouring of support for a wounded police officer continues. tonight, the message from his family. and a whole lot of talk about transparency in sacramento lately. so this may come as a surprise. why lawmakers want to kick cameras and tape recorders off the assembly floor. ,,

there is a silver lining. a slower onset and then a faster rate of decline means the patient will actually suffer from dementia for a shorter period of time. researchers speculate the brain is like a muscle. exercise can make it stronger. but once it's compromised, exercise may make it worse. experts say even if that's true, people should continue to exercise their brains. >> i really like the idea. >> reporter: it's still an effective way to help fight off alzheimer's. dr. kim mulvihill, cbs 5 healthwatch. thousands of california students cannot attend classes in regular classrooms for a number of reasons from health problems to trouble with other students, but don fernandez shows us there is a new school in the south bay that helps keep the kids on track and they never have to leave home. reporter: matt peltier says he is not a morning person. for the high school junior getting up early and going to school was not working. >> the main problem was just the way high school worked. having to get up in the morning and having to start your

>> reporter: they can go by different names, but the recipe is nearly always the same. big storms that spin near the equator, go spinning out with heavy rains, low pressure, and driving damaging wind. the ingredients of what are generally called cyclones. >> tropical cyclones the overall name we give hurricanes, tropical depressions, tropical storms. >> reporter: tom evans part of the team of meteorologists who staff the national weather service headquarters in monterey from their satellites, they can monitor the world's storms. >> stronger tropical cyclones, name them hurricanes. when we are talking about the eastern north pacific we call them typhoons when they cross the dateline and go into the western north pacific. >> reporter: they go by other names as well, usually when when you're running away from them. in the northern hemisphere they

spin counterclockwise, clockwise in the southern helps fee. >> that has to do with the coriolis effect allowing the wind to curve. in this case we get a curve to the right away from the north pole toward the equator. >> reporter: i need your good questions, send them to me at cbs5.com. >> not enough warm water for a hurricane around here. >> no. our water temperature is around 51 degrees. inside the bay 55. big doings going on all across the bay area but one we really want to highlight is miss dana king's event. >> oh, come on. i'm not at the sausalito art festival but there is a lot of art in sausalito. there is the art festival, the icb building is open and my studio is open. >> your studio is open where? >> on gate 5 road. we'll have signs up everywhere open to the public. >> and you'll be selling your art? >> i hope! >> she is so talented. i'm so impressed. i even bought some of her art. >> and i have a fabulous studio
